Epic Games is planning a native Linux version of their store launcher (not in the upcoming preview), as more work is needed beyond just a native build (AMA, answered by Epic employee @1percentnachos) (lemmy.nz)

Hopefully this also includes downloading/installing unreal engine in linux. It's already supported, but the marketplace linking for assets and things can get janky in linux. Hopefully this gets smoothed out.

Epics launcher and asset store is widely mocked for being janky on Windows too.

Hah, fair. I haven't tried it in windows, I just assumed it would work properly. I guess that was assuming too much.
